My big beef with NCAA refs is a FAILURE to call stalling. That hurts AM.
This x 100. We saw this issue manifest itself last year on college wrestling’s biggest stage, the finals. Yet, that wasn’t enough to make any serious changes. The stalling rule is broken. Neutral stalling doesn’t exist anymore basically. Their is no consistency with how they call it. That’s the big issue now. Every match is called differently. It must be incredibly frustrating for a wrestler that is attempting to push the pace and be the aggressor. I predict this pattern will continue.
I'd like to see The Bull just force his will on people and attempt to toss them to their backs. He comes out of those positions on the better end of it more often than not, and he's not likely to end up with a 1 point loss where he doesn't score.
Yep, they forgot how to call stalling inside the circle minus the meaningless call with 10 seconds left.
I'm with you. To me that's the biggest issue. Alex used to earn that name but more times than not, even against much weaker opponents, he's been settling for 1 point wins regardless of the opponent. He has the ability to throttle these guys, which is the mindset that I believe will give him the B10 and NCAA titles. The only reason Karch beat him was because he became complacent and rested on his laurels against a fricking stud young kid. That should not be his style, not as talented as he is. JMHO.
There's going to be *'s around all kinds of records and all kinds of Sports because of COVID. It is what it is.
Sure, but Scruddy seemed to suggest that this would tarnish Marinelli's record, and I don't think so. He wrestles the best that's out there, and that makes him a winner in my book.
Agreed. Scruddy is on Ignore for me. Good he has someone to read his hot takes I guess......
Not sure he's exactly the same guy post Injury last year. Some guys get tore up in the grinder.
That might be the case, but on some days we see the old Bull while others we see the current version, which isn't at all bad by the way.
He's still the bull. Take him any day.
So you probably don't think SL is in the same boat as all the other 4 timers since he didn't win but two B1G Championships? I know he hasn't won his 4th yet!!!! Go back to PS....Oh, no one from there has won 4 either BUT.....Nice troll/.
He's literally not in the convo of best 4 timers bc he is not a 4 timer. Doesn't mean he's not a stud... why are some of you so sensitive to the obvious?
I had that exact thought myself, wouldn't post it though, especially on the front page of a Marinelli 4xer thread....it's pathetic that you couldn't wait to chime in with a correction-oh wait nothing unfactual was said and since every one of us was already aware of your "revelation" including flo it seems obvious why that might piss us the hell off. Duh
